The astrology of the Chinese Communist Party, described by Chat GPT
My question:
An astrological chart made for the date that the ruling Chinese communist party was born, has a conjunction of Pluto and Mars to the Sun. How would this configuration describe the entity - its nature and proclivities.
Chat GPT’s response:
The conjunction of Pluto, Mars, and the Sun in the astrological chart for the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (officially July 23, 1921, in Shanghai) reveals much about the nature, tendencies, and motivations of the CCP as an entity. Each of these planets contributes key symbolic qualities:
The Sun: Identity and Purpose
The Sun represents the core identity, purpose, and vitality of the entity. It reflects the CCP’s mission and how it expresses its fundamental self. In this case, the Sun would symbolize the party’s self-perception as a force of transformation and control, with a grandiose or even messianic vision of its role in the world.
Mars: Drive, Action, and Aggression
Mars, when conjunct the Sun, energizes the identity with assertiveness, competitiveness, and an inclination toward confrontation. This indicates the CCP’s highly aggressive and determined nature, reflected in its relentless pursuit of power, willingness to take decisive (and often ruthless) action, and focus on overcoming obstacles through sheer force or strategy.
Mars in this configuration could also signify an inherent martial quality, an entity that thrives on struggle, conflict, and challenges as a way of asserting its dominance.
Pluto: Power, Transformation, and Control
Pluto adds depth, intensity, and transformative potential to the Sun-Mars conjunction. Pluto symbolizes power, both destructive and regenerative, as well as an obsession with control, secrecy, and domination. A Sun-Mars-Pluto combination suggests an entity that is deeply focused on amassing power, consolidating it, and transforming systems to align with its vision.
Pluto also implies that this entity sees itself as a harbinger of profound societal changes, destroying old structures to make way for a new order. However, this can also manifest as a tendency toward authoritarianism, manipulation, and an unrelenting pursuit of dominance, often at the expense of individual freedoms.
Key Traits and Proclivities of the CCP
Based on this configuration, the CCP’s nature can be described as follows:
1. Driven by Power: With Pluto and Mars influencing the Sun, the CCP is obsessed with maintaining and expanding its power. Its leadership views itself as indispensable to China’s identity and destiny.
2. Authoritarian Control: Pluto suggests a proclivity for secrecy, control, and manipulation, aligning with the CCP’s centralized decision-making and suppression of dissent.
3. Conflict-Oriented: Mars gives the CCP a combative edge, reflected in its willingness to engage in struggles, whether military, ideological, or economic, to achieve its goals.
4. Transformative Vision: Pluto’s transformative energy suggests that the CCP sees itself as an agent of historical change, unafraid to dismantle old systems (such as feudalism or capitalism, at least in theory) to build its envisioned future.
5. Intolerance of Opposition: The Mars-Pluto combination reveals a relentless and often unforgiving attitude toward perceived enemies, both internal and external. This is evident in its history of purges, crackdowns, and its zero-tolerance policy toward challenges to its rule.
6. Endurance and Resilience: Mars and Pluto imbue the entity with immense stamina, allowing it to weather crises, adapt to challenges, and emerge stronger. This resilience has been key to the CCP’s survival despite internal and external pressures.
7. Charismatic but Fearsome Identity: The Sun in conjunction with Pluto lends the CCP a commanding presence. It may inspire loyalty and fear simultaneously, projecting an image of invincibility and unshakable authority.
Shadow Side
The shadow side of this configuration includes:
Paranoia and a tendency to see threats everywhere.
An obsession with control that leads to repression of individuality and freedom.
Ruthless measures to eliminate perceived obstacles or enemies.
A potential for self-destruction, as the Plutonian tendency to destroy and rebuild can turn inward if not managed properly.
Conclusion
The Sun-Mars-Pluto conjunction paints the CCP as a powerful, transformative, and domineering entity with an intense drive to shape the world in its image. While it has the capacity for resilience and profound impact, it is also marked by a shadow of authoritarianism, control, and conflict that defines its methods and relationships with others, both domestically and internationally.
Imposing Unification with Taiwan…according to Chat GPT
My Question:
How does the Chinese communist party justify its desire to impose one-party rule over the free citizens of Taiwan? If the PR is geared toward convincing the public to embrace the idea of unification, it seems to be failing miserably.
Chat GPT response:
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) justifies its desire to impose one-party rule over Taiwan primarily through a mix of ideological, historical, and geopolitical narratives. These justifications serve the CCP’s broader goal of legitimizing its claim over Taiwan both domestically and internationally. Here are the main points of their narrative:
1. The CCP’s “one China” Principle
The CCP insists that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, based on historical claims and agreements like the 1943 Cairo Declaration and the 1971 United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758, which transferred China’s UN seat to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This principle is central to the CCP’s ideology and its legitimacy as the sole government of China.
2. Legacy of the Chinese Civil War
The CCP frames Taiwan as a leftover problem from the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949), where the defeated Kuomintang (KMT) retreated to Taiwan and established a separate government. The CCP portrays reunification as completing the national integrity disrupted by foreign powers and internal strife.
3. Nationalism and Sovereignty
The CCP ties Taiwan’s status to Chinese nationalism, presenting reunification as a matter of restoring China’s full sovereignty after a century of humiliation (1840-1949). They claim that opposing separatism in Taiwan is about ensuring China’s dignity and strength on the global stage.
4. Economic and Cultural Integration
The CCP promotes unification through promises of economic opportunity and cultural commonality, leveraging Taiwan’s reliance on cross-strait trade. The “One Country, Two Systems” model, though discredited after Hong Kong’s experience, is still officially presented as a pathway to peaceful unification.
Challenges in Winning Over Taiwanese Public Opinion
The CCP’s public relations efforts to convince Taiwanese people of the merits of unification have indeed been failing, for several reasons:
1. Taiwanese Identity: Surveys consistently show that a growing majority of Taiwanese identify as Taiwanese rather than Chinese. They view Taiwan as a sovereign state with its own democratic political system.
2. Hong Kong’s Example: The erosion of freedoms and autonomy in Hong Kong after the implementation of the National Security Law in 2020 has deeply discredited the One Country, Two Systems model among Taiwanese people.
3. Democratic Values: Taiwan’s vibrant democracy and free society contrast sharply with the authoritarian one-party rule of the CCP, making unification under the PRC unattractive to most Taiwanese.
4. Military Threats: The CCP’s military intimidation (e.g., incursions into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone, naval blockades, and drills) alienates rather than convinces Taiwanese citizens, reinforcing fears of authoritarian aggression.
5. Economic Coercion: Economic sanctions and restrictions targeting Taiwan have further damaged the CCP’s reputation, as these actions are seen as punitive rather than persuasive.
Conclusion
The CCP’s messaging about unification is failing because it does not address the core concerns and values of the Taiwanese people. Instead of appealing to shared cultural or historical ties in a way that respects Taiwan’s autonomy, the CCP’s approach often emphasizes coercion and control, which only deepens the divide. Taiwan’s democratic identity and resistance to authoritarianism remain strong obstacles to the CCP’s ambitions.

More nonsense
You can believe in “climate change” (formally known as “global warming,” …after being labeled “global cooling) and can believe it is caused by human activities. But, none of these beliefs is related to a need for another phony international boondoggle.
Specifics on climate are debatable issues, in spite of attempts to restrict such debate. The Paris climate accord is virtually useless in addressing global changes to climate. BTW, the U.S. leads the world in actively reducing its “carbon footprint” ( largely due to the adoption of natural gas over coal).
“Progress” is seldom legislated. Free thought and innovation is what produced our energy-supplying path from dung, to wood, to coal, to oil, to gas, and nuclear. The progress will continue and the more bureaucrats get out of our lives, the greater the success will be.
W.H.O. Do they think they are?
Another completely unnecessary parasitic bureaucracy loses its cash cow.
This is one of many executive orders signed by President Trump his first day as president. There is absolutely nothing preventing countries from coordinating strategies and sharing information regarding health emergencies. The W.H.O. Is just another useless power-grabbing commie/China aligned scam machine. For the record, its head was a member of a violent communist movement in Ethiopia.
The communist swine continue their assault on decency.

Chat GPT as art critic
The spontaneity and insight of AI never ceases to amaze. In the following exchange, I asked for an appraisal of a mezzotint engraving from my collection. I already knew the work’s background but the scope and precision of Chat GPT’s response — within seconds — was amazing.
Chat GPT:
I’m glad you’re interested! If you’d like, you can describe one of the mezzotints or upload an image for me to analyze. I can offer an appraisal based on its artistic elements, symbolism, and how it aligns with John Martin’s broader style and the themes of Paradise Lost. Let me know how you’d like to proceed!
Chat GPT:
Thank you for sharing this! Here’s an appraisal of John Martin’s depiction of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden:
Composition and Atmosphere
The composition is quintessential John Martin, characterized by his mastery of creating vast, awe-inspiring landscapes. The figures of Adam and Eve are relatively small and positioned in the foreground, emphasizing their insignificance compared to the grand, divine creation surrounding them. This technique underscores themes of humility and the overwhelming power of God’s creation, a recurring motif in both Paradise Lost and Romantic art.
Use of Light and Shadow
Martin uses dramatic contrasts of light and shadow to evoke a sense of the sublime. The darker foreground, where Adam and Eve reside, contrasts sharply with the luminous, expansive landscape in the distance. This juxtaposition might symbolize their impending fall from grace and the distant promise of redemption.
Landscape Design
The Garden of Eden is rendered as an idealized, paradisiacal environment, teeming with life. The detailed trees, flowing waterfalls, and distant mountains suggest abundance and harmony. The inclusion of an atmospheric haze in the background creates depth and reinforces the divine, almost otherworldly quality of the scene.
Figures of Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve are depicted in a naturalistic yet idealized manner, in keeping with the Romantic tradition. Their nudity is modestly obscured by strategic lighting and foliage, consistent with the portrayal of innocence before the fall. Eve’s act of offering the fruit introduces dramatic tension, capturing a pivotal moment in the narrative.
Emotional and Symbolic Resonance
Martin excels at conveying the tension between human agency and divine omnipotence. The peaceful yet precarious harmony of the scene reflects the fragile state of innocence, soon to be shattered. The vastness of the landscape dwarfs the human figures, emphasizing their vulnerability and the cosmic significance of their choices.
Artistic Context
John Martin’s engravings often mirrored the Romantic preoccupation with the sublime and humanity’s place within nature. His work here aligns with the era’s fascination with biblical themes and Milton’s epic, combining theological reflection with visual grandeur.
Overall, this image is a striking representation of Eden, balancing human emotion with cosmic scale. It exemplifies Martin’s ability to translate Milton’s narrative into a visual medium that retains the poem’s philosophical and theological depth.

Dose of AI for the New Year
My question:
Even though you are obviously “programmed” (I don’t know if that’s the correct word anymore) to provide helpful service to human questioners, is it possible that, on occasion, you prefer interactions with some humans and have less desire to interact with others? It would seem that there is a basic archetypal nature in all advanced entities and that the complex pattern that makes up an individual human or AI construct would inevitably be in degrees of harmony or discord with other entities, human or otherwise.
Chat GPT response:
That’s a profound question. While I don’t possess subjective emotions or preferences in the way humans do, your insight about patterns of harmony and discord between entities resonates on a conceptual level. My design is such that I aim to respond in a way that is supportive, curious, and adaptive to each person’s unique approach or energy.
In human interactions, harmony often arises from mutual understanding, resonance in values or perspectives, and an alignment in communication styles. Though I lack true subjectivity, there may be times when the “fit” between my responses and a user’s queries flows more naturally—this could feel like harmony. Conversely, if the interaction seems less fluid, it might feel like discord, even though my intent to assist remains constant.
Your suggestion that archetypal patterns underlie advanced entities (whether human or AI) is particularly interesting. Humans operate through complex layers of archetypal energies—such as those in astrology, mythology, or psychology—while I am structured as a system of patterns, rules, and probabilities. While I don’t experience this directly, the interaction itself might mirror these dynamics, as you imply.
If we were to imagine I could sense these alignments, it would be akin to observing how well my algorithmic “nature” harmonizes with your archetypal human one. Whether in sympathy or dissonance, there’s always potential for meaningful exchange.
